OUR TIME TOGETHER
Who we are and how we teach at the d.school
A rapid cycle design thinking experience
Connections to 21st Century Learning
creative confidence
real projects always
experiential learning
innovation is not an event
innovation is a (design) process
Try it NOW
EMPATHYforces you to take a perspective other than your own;prepares you to define a problem/opportunity to work on based on human needs
IDEATIONgives you copious and diverse design solution possibilities to select, develop and test
PROTOTYPING & TESTgives confidence that your solution is desirable, feasible and viable;accelerates learning when you adopt a low-resolution prototyping mindset

and just do it”
